Thu, 27 Feb 2014 01:48:10 +0000http://www.popularwoodworking.com/?p=234661#comment-81313I’m a bit behind on the blog and was somewhat dismayed at most of the comments. However, I do understand where they come from, based on the variety of learning techniques. In this blog entry, there are two types of information given: the “silent” video, which does as stated to “show” what a layout rod or story stick “looks like.” I, for one, had no need for anyone to describe what I was seeing, since I took the time to “read” the blog entry first. Some people have a problem reading something and then looking at pictures or a video. In this age, a lot of people have grown accustomed to having narration while watching the video. Could that have been done? Quite possibly, but I would then have eliminated the writing which would, in turn, have alienated far more people.

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 15:51:07 +0000http://www.popularwoodworking.com/?p=234661#comment-80210I also was really bummed out on this, I know about story sticks but one of the worse videos I have seen, someone describly verbally would maybe help. I learned absolutely nothing. Its just like your magazine I recieved yesterday, its getting worse for content, I dont know who edits it or who is writing it, but its basically garbage. Clean up your magazine make it more stand out, more projects large and small. If you have fire everyone and start over. Even I can do better then these idiots. Not sure I will renew my subscription. But you are not alone some other competion mags have gone same way. By the way the website isnt much better. Garver

Hope Glen has some control over this in the future!

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 12:32:19 +0000http://www.popularwoodworking.com/?p=234661#comment-53301I agree with Frank to the extent that you could have conveyed the same information with a slide show. For the next time, I suggest a slightly different approach, based on what I would find most helpful. In explaining the story of the story stick based on an actual project, why not show how the story stick was created – e.g., butt the thing up against the actual bench and show how and why the individual marks were made and then how the pieces were cut?

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 23:02:07 +0000http://www.popularwoodworking.com/?p=234661#comment-53191We always called them story sticks, for both stairs and cabinet making, to keep from getting them confused with the grade rods used in surveying.

I think it’s more in what part of the country one resides in, as to what they are called, as when we referred to a rod, the first think we thought of, was the grade rod behind the seat in the truck, packed beside our transit.
